Definitions

  • the present invention relates on the one hand to a continuous process for the manufacture of a fermented liquid such as beer and, on the other hand, to an installation for the carrying out of such process.
  • the liquid is conducted by hydraulic pressure through two or more porous bodies combined with an alluvion (silt) of different enzyme carriers.
  • the operation is carried out at high temperature and in particular at temperatures greater than the optimum value known for the enzyme carrier in question. As a result, the treatment takes place by filtration.
  • heat exchangers are used.
  • the use of heat exchangers has up to now caused many difficulties.
  • the media become laden and one rapidly arrives at a complete clogging of the system due to the depositing of the precipitates on the very hot walls of the exchanger.
  • a process for the treatment of brewery wort is also known in which the stabilizing or denaturizing can be effected conveniently at a temperature capable of assuring sterilization and also supplying the conditions suitable for the extraction of the substances from the hops which produce the bitterness.
  • the mild or hopped wort is caused to stay in one or more receptacles and this wort is heated solely by injecting heated steam into the mass of liquid in such a manner that the stabilizing of the wort, which comprises a denaturing of the proteins and reactions between the proteins and the tannin in order to coagulate the degradation products of the wort, takes place before the treated wort then comes into contact with heated surfaces on which the said products could deposit, thereby causing clogging.
  • the injected heating vapor is formed, in whole or in part, of vapor and particularly of steam, which is produced by the boiling of the wort.
  • the stabilizing of the wort is effected before the or each hops stage or hops extraction stage.
  • the present invention clearly differs from this known process.
  • the process is limited solely to a treatment of the wort, but it cannot be applied to the entire fermentation line.
  • fresh hops are used, while in the process of the present invention, a concentrate is employed of the hops extract which, at the time of its introduction into the manufacturing line, has already undergone either a partial or a total treatment for the extraction and polymerization of the iso-humulones.
  • the known process does not concern a sterilization of all of the components and does hot have the purpose of producing a continuously sterile medium in the installation. This sterilization must be absolutely permanent due to the continuous fermentation of the liquid in the present invention.
  • a system of fermentation vats for the manufacture of the sterilized beer consisting of the combination of two similar airtight vats communicating at their upper part by means of a pipe and at their lower part with each other and with a yeast receptacle via a pipe with three-way valves, in such a manner that the wort to be treated can be transferred from one to the other and wort also sent into the receptacle for diluting the yeast and sending it into the vat where the tumultuous fermentation is to take place, the other vat being intended for the yeast fermentation, this latter vat receiving the gasses liberated in the other vat via a pipe which extends down to the bottom so as to compel these gasses to bubble in the wort.
  • the transfers of liquid are effected by the sterilized compressed air distributed by conduits provided for this purpose.
  • vats are used. During the fermentation carried out in one vat the other vat is cleaned. It is necessary to transfer the wort from one vat to the other.
  • the plurality of vats results in a considerable increase in the installation expenses and cost price. It may be considered that for each vat the fermentation is not continuous but batch-wise.
  • the essential problem is to provide a sterile-medium manufacturing line of the fermented liquid when continuously treating the wort at the level of the fermentation.
  • the present invention refers to the manufacture of beer from the wort extract and the manufacture of the wort is merely one phase of manufacture proceedinging the process of the invention.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks and is directed at providing a process for the continuous manufacture of a fermented liquid which operates with a selected strain of yeast fixed on a column and an installation operating under strictly aseptic conditions in which there is used a wort sterilized before its injection into the system which, an improvement in the quality of the wort entering into the fermentation makes it possible to improve the quality of the beer.
  • the invention concerns a process for the continuous manufacture of a fermented liquid characterized by the fact that on the one hand all the components participating in the manufacture of this fermented liquid are sterilized continously before their introduction into the manufacturing line for the fermented liquid and that on the other hand all the equipment permitting the different phases of boiling of the wort, treatment of the wort, barreling of the wort, fermentation, storage, treatment of the fermented liquid and filtration are designed to guarantee the installation against any introduction of foreign microorganisms and to offer a permanently sterile medium.
  • the continuous process of manufacture of a fermented liquid is characterized also by the fact that the yeast used for the fermentation and the storage of the fermented liquid is produced by enzymes which are also fixed on another support which is inert with respect to the fermentation medium. This permits the cell multiplication necessary for the production of volatile substances which contribute to the aroma and the taste of the beer and also assure operation for several months.
  • the invention also concerns an installation composed of at least one sterilization chamber for the concentrated wort and bitter substances, a boiler for the boiling of the wort, a separator for the precipitate, a fermentation tower, a storage tower, a treatment tower, a storage tank and a bottling unit characterized by the fact that the sterilization chamber for the concentration wort and bitter substances, the boiler, the separator, the fermentation tower, the storage tower, the treatment tower, the storage tank and the tapping unit comprise sterilization means for permanently doing away with any presence of foreign microorganisms in the installation.

  • This regulating loop 18 comprises a filter 22 between the valve 21 and the chamber 12.
  • This sterilization chamber 12 makes it possible to study the effect of the flash sterilization for a very short period of time at elevated temperatures, on the composition of the medium. Therefore, the quality of the wort entering into fermentation can be improved.

  • This conduit 42 or "monte jus" acting via the injection of sterile air or oxygen, permits at the same time the feeding of a separator 51 and the aeration of the wort.
  • the separator 51 permits the decantation of the precipitates formed upon the boiling of the wort.
